“John and Teri did a fantastic job caring for our dog. They are great communicators and we know our dog was well loved while he was staying with them. We would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend to anyone considering!”
“Kirsten was great! She got back to me quickly and sent pictures/updates daily. She kept him over Christmas & even gave him a treat from Santa. Highly recommend!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Katniss with Sarah and Richard. Right from our meet and greet we knew we'd have no worries leaving her with their family. You can tell that they (and their kids) have such love for animals. We received an evening update with photos and a video each night of Katniss' stay which showed us just how much fun she was having with their dog, Sadie. We will definitely be using Sarah and Richard again in the future!”
“Serah was quick to respond to my last minute request and took good care of my pup! She sent me a photo update and was really flexible with pick up time. Murphy was exhausted when I got him home so I know he got lots of good play time. Thanks again!”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Our dog had an awesome stay with Jazmin & Mary. Communication was thorough with daily updates and pictures and even a written report when we picked our dog up. We highly recommend using Jazmin & Mary if you want to be assured that your dog is well taken care of!”
“The best rover we have ever had. She cared and spoiled our golden retriever like she was her own dog. She was extremely accommodating to a last minute change in a trip and made it easy us to take a trip out of state. I will be looking to book Carla again in the future! Lily was spoiled by her!”
“Elyse (and her lovely family) provided the perfect place for us to leave our Chihuahua mix for our trip. She sent lots of pictures and descriptions of his day so that I always felt like I knew how he was doing. She was also quick to answer my texts and any questions that I had. He was so very comfortable there that he ate well, slept peacefully, played tug, snuggled all the humans, went for a car ride, interacted and got his sniffs in at a dog park and played happily with the 1 other pup in Elyse's care. He clearly felt at home. He also transitioned beautifully to actually being back home with no signs of stress. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Elyse and I'm so grateful that Herman has found her, too. We will happily leave Herman with Elyse again because we know, with certainty, that she'll love and care for him like we do.”
“Our experience with this wonderful family was just that, wonderful! The entire family helped care for Bailey just like she was their own. Lots of snuggles, love & attentive care. Our family had just lost our dear Betsy (our older blue heeler). We had to let her go in January of this year due to illness & age. It was very clear that Bailey was missing her. So when she met some new friends like these great people, she was in heaven. Along with variety of 4 legged friends. We received lots of updates and pics on our vacation and that really put our minds at ease. I don’t think Bailey wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!😁 We feel blessed to have found this family and will definitely be booking again! Thank you ♥️”
“This was my dogs' first extended stay at someone's house and I will definitely board again. My oldest dog gets stressed out at kennels, so the most important thing to me is a stress-free environment where he feels comfortable to play, but also to relax. He got all of this, and from the pics Mike sent, seemed to be more than comfortable. I also liked that there are plenty of dogs for my youngest to play her heart out. I think it was the perfect environment for them! Thanks again!”
“Tasha and her family took wonderful care of Roxy. We received tons of photos and videos, and it was clear that Roxy became part of the family. She came home happy, tuckered out, and obviously very well loved.”
“Caleb took great care of our dog and gave us daily updates about how she was doing while staying with him. I really appreciate his prompt and open communication.”
“Phoebe had a great time staying with Trudy and her dog, Archie. We really appreciated how natural she was with Phoebe's quirks and willing to answer questions, especially with it being our first time boarding through Rover. It was great that Phoebe got lots of time playing outside with her new friend, Archie. They even worked on commands with Phoebe. We're sure Phoebe would love staying with them again!”
“Amanda accepted my dog on a short notice and took very good care of him. Sent me photos and updates which was great. My dog gets very nervous when I'm away but he quickly got comfortable with her, she has excellent patience. 100% recommend.”

“After much trepidation and teeth gnashing, we decided we needed a vacation, and that meant leaving our dogs in the care of....someone. We wanted to try something different than a dog boarding/day care facility, so we looked at Rover. When we found Lynn, we immediately felt we had a strong contender for a successful boarding experience for our dogs, and for us. Lynn is incredibly responsive and has a great demeanor with both animals and humans. Our dogs loved their stay, though they were also quite happy to see their normal humans, and to get back home. We will not hesitate to let our dogs stay with Lynn in the future!”
“Tracy was amazing! Her love of dogs shows… through genuinely getting to know them at their level (based on their breed), through the meet and greet, and then going above and beyond through walks (sending pics of the routes/distance) and so many amazing pics/vids of Amelia’s adventures while with Tracy, that I was beginning to wonder if she would want to come home! Thanks Tracy!”
“Dalton & Kaitlin made our 110 lb dog, Koda, feel right at home. They were always keeping us updated on how he was doing and always asked if there were specific things we wanted to work on for training. Highly recommend.”

“Jessica is the best, she has taken care of my cat Peggy before and my cat loves her. This time she Jess helped us taking care of my friend’s cat Sophie and my cat Peggy both of them loved her. I will definitely reach her again with no doubts”
“Elyse was very thorough and flexible! When I had some weather delays, she worked to adjust the schedule and helped me care for my pet while I was away. She left very thorough descriptions and followed all my care instructions. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Mikayla came and checked in with our kitties, Leo and Lola, while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. She sent pictures and updates on how our kitties were doing, which made us feel better knowing they were being well taken care of. Mikayla is kind and caring. Leo who is scared of all new people even sat in her lap! We will definitely book her again! We highly recommend her services.”
About: I love working with pets. My parents have two dogs that I love bringing on walks. They are fun to play with and give attention too. We have also had different dogs when I was growing up it is important to know each pet has a different personality. We have also had cats that are completely different from dogs. I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had pets since I was nine years old. I currently care for my five-year-old French Bulldog who had a stroke as a puppy and has partial paralysis, so I’m very experienced with giving pets extra patience, attention, and care. I’m a special education teacher with summers off and availability on weekends. I’d love to help care for your fur babies and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I have weekends off and often care for friends’ pets when they’re away. I’m more of a homebody, so I’m available most of the day on Saturdays and Sundays to provide attentive, reliable care. I’m not currently offering boarding or daycare services. However, if that changes in the future, I do have a fenced backyard and take daily walks with my dog, so pets staying with me would receive plenty of love, attention, and regular walks.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and have cared for them my entire life. I love animals of all kinds and understand that pets are family. I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've shared my life with cats for as long as I can remember and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Some love attention, while others simply appreciate a calm, respectful presence. I take the time to earn each cat's trust and care for them at their own pace. Reliability, safety, and integrity are the foundation of how I care for every pet. Whether your cat needs fresh food and water, medication, playtime, litter box maintenance, or just a reassuring companion while you're away, I'll make sure they're comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. My calm, mindful approach helps even shy or cautious cats feel more at ease. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, respectful of routines, and committed to providing dependable care and clear communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. From playful kittens to senior cats, and from social butterflies to independent companions, I'm happy to provide the individualized care they deserve.
About: I have cared for pets in a variety of contexts including while babysitting, stop-by check-ins, and live-in per care for a few days at a time. Additionally, I am known to spend more time hanging out with the pets at friends’ houses than with the people there. I am a student with sporadic breaks throughout the day perfect for checking-in or dog walks. Though my schedule varies a lot day-to-day and throughout different months I often can make most requests work. I follow given or written instructions to a T. Additionally I prefer to follow the pets lead, within reason, not forcing myself into their space or making them “like” me, rather waiting for them to approach me.
“Stephanie was very kind and easy to work with! I very much appreciated her willingness to not only check in on my cats but check on my fish tanks as well. Would definitely recommend!”

“Amazing! I would recommend Mike to everyone mostly if you’re new! My first time taking my puppy, Luke to day care. Mike was great on updating me on how Luke was doing. Mike also has a large yard which is perfect for pups to run and get all that energy out. My puppy got home happy and tired from all that playing. Thank you Mike!”
About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”
“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”
“Caleb was awesome! Boats was so excited for daycare drop-off in the morning to see him and Cro! He sent photos, videos and status updates and also agreed last second to add one more day of daycare when my husband had to work. Highly recommend!”
“Teddy was happy to spend the day with Amanda, she gave him lots of love and attention. I was so relieved that Teddy was well taken care of. It's a plus that she has a fenced in back yard.”
About: Your pup will be the only one in our care during their stay! They will get all the cuddles, all the love, all the attention and all the things! They will enjoy our fenced in backyard and will be allowed to roam through our entire home. Jazmin is a college student home for the summer, and is in her 3rd year. She is on the deans list, and committed to getting good grades, being reliable and dependable, and willing to help provide a loving home for your pet! Jazmin will be away starting mid-August and since our family enjoyed every single dog we had over the summer, Mary has decided to continue providing care to help offset college expenses. Mary works from home, so your pup will never be alone for more than a couple hours if needed to run errands. We had a boxer that we raised from 10 weeks old to 12 years old. Unfortunately she was laid to rest in February 25, so your pet will be given a lot of love and affection and help fill our empty home. We have experience with puppy's all the way to senior dogs who are blind, deaf, diabetic, have seizures, etc. We have watched family's, neighbors, and friends dogs. We would be honored for you to share your pup with us while you are away. Our price reflects our care and amenities; fenced in yard with shade trees, allowed on beds and couches, we don't require a kennel unless needed, we wash food/water bowls daily, a GPS tag will be used in case you pup escapes, someone is always home, numerous walks around the block, pictures will be sent daily, access to all 3 levels of our home and we only take 1 family at a time! Jazmin will return from school in December 2025-January 2026 and again in mid-May 2026 to mid-August 2026. Is this your first time on Rover? Use Code: JAZMIC96925, to get $20 off your first booking after you sign up! Jazmin is away at college right now. Mary works from home and can attend to your dog as much as needed. Someone will always be home with your pet so they can receive the adequate amount of care that they need. We are also available for dog walking, potty breaks at the pets home, and pretty much everything. We have a fenced in yard, dogs are allowed on the couch, bed and all areas of our home. Whether you prefer kennel or no kennel either works for us, walks will be provided upon request and medication for senior dogs will be administered if needed. I am open for helping in whatever way I can, and I am willing to accommodate within reason.

I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away.
“Excellent service! Lorena was extremely warm and attentive with our puppy, who is only 11 weeks old. We felt at peace leaving our furry baby with her. She is also very knowledgeable about puppy development and gave us the requested tips. Will definitely request her services again.”
About: I've had a dog for over 20 years with experience from puppy stages through elderly dogs with medical needs. I also have years of experience with small animals, especially hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and rabbits. My family and I would love to spoil your dog while you are away. I work from home so pet care easily fits into my schedule and is tailored based on the pets needs. My family and I are home most weekends and enjoy taking family walks. I am able to crate pets if needed and have gates if we are gone for a short time to keep them in a safe place within the home.

I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy
About: In addition to growing up on a farm with dogs and many animals, I have had many years of experience not only watching but working with all kinds of animals. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for 2 years and I have animal sat (dogs, puppies, cats, farm animals, etc) for family and friends and have become their go to sitter! As a student during the summer, I have an open schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention while respecting your home and keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trustworthy, loving care, and treat every pet like family.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had pets since I was nine years old. I currently care for my five-year-old French Bulldog who had a stroke as a puppy and has partial paralysis, so I’m very experienced with giving pets extra patience, attention, and care. I’m a special education teacher with summers off and availability on weekends. I’d love to help care for your fur babies and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I have weekends off and often care for friends’ pets when they’re away. I’m more of a homebody, so I’m available most of the day on Saturdays and Sundays to provide attentive, reliable care. I’m not currently offering boarding or daycare services. However, if that changes in the future, I do have a fenced backyard and take daily walks with my dog, so pets staying with me would receive plenty of love, attention, and regular walks.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I now have a dog of my own, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m a teacher and am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of availability right now. My schedule will become more limited toward the end of August when the school year begins. Currently, I’m unable to care for dogs in my home, but I’m happy to come to my clients’ homes to provide the care their dogs need.
About: Growing up I’ve been a dog sitter, provided personal care for my own animals, raised ducks, reptiles, dogs and cats for years and love them all! I am currently a student at Iowa State University, I am a Pre-Vet student and would love to care for your animals. I have classes every weekday until 3pm. Depending on you and your pets needs I will work with all that is needed in your home to make your pet as comfortable and safe as possible!

“John and Teri did a fantastic job caring for our dog. They are great communicators and we know our dog was well loved while he was staying with them. We would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend to anyone considering!”
“Kirsten was great! She got back to me quickly and sent pictures/updates daily. She kept him over Christmas & even gave him a treat from Santa. Highly recommend!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Katniss with Sarah and Richard. Right from our meet and greet we knew we'd have no worries leaving her with their family. You can tell that they (and their kids) have such love for animals. We received an evening update with photos and a video each night of Katniss' stay which showed us just how much fun she was having with their dog, Sadie. We will definitely be using Sarah and Richard again in the future!”
“Serah was quick to respond to my last minute request and took good care of my pup! She sent me a photo update and was really flexible with pick up time. Murphy was exhausted when I got him home so I know he got lots of good play time. Thanks again!”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Our dog had an awesome stay with Jazmin & Mary. Communication was thorough with daily updates and pictures and even a written report when we picked our dog up. We highly recommend using Jazmin & Mary if you want to be assured that your dog is well taken care of!”
“The best rover we have ever had. She cared and spoiled our golden retriever like she was her own dog. She was extremely accommodating to a last minute change in a trip and made it easy us to take a trip out of state. I will be looking to book Carla again in the future! Lily was spoiled by her!”
“Our experience with this wonderful family was just that, wonderful! The entire family helped care for Bailey just like she was their own. Lots of snuggles, love & attentive care. Our family had just lost our dear Betsy (our older blue heeler). We had to let her go in January of this year due to illness & age. It was very clear that Bailey was missing her. So when she met some new friends like these great people, she was in heaven. Along with variety of 4 legged friends. We received lots of updates and pics on our vacation and that really put our minds at ease. I don’t think Bailey wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!😁 We feel blessed to have found this family and will definitely be booking again! Thank you ♥️”
“This was my dogs' first extended stay at someone's house and I will definitely board again. My oldest dog gets stressed out at kennels, so the most important thing to me is a stress-free environment where he feels comfortable to play, but also to relax. He got all of this, and from the pics Mike sent, seemed to be more than comfortable. I also liked that there are plenty of dogs for my youngest to play her heart out. I think it was the perfect environment for them! Thanks again!”
“Tasha and her family took wonderful care of Roxy. We received tons of photos and videos, and it was clear that Roxy became part of the family. She came home happy, tuckered out, and obviously very well loved.”
“Caleb took great care of our dog and gave us daily updates about how she was doing while staying with him. I really appreciate his prompt and open communication.”
“Phoebe had a great time staying with Trudy and her dog, Archie. We really appreciated how natural she was with Phoebe's quirks and willing to answer questions, especially with it being our first time boarding through Rover. It was great that Phoebe got lots of time playing outside with her new friend, Archie. They even worked on commands with Phoebe. We're sure Phoebe would love staying with them again!”
“Amanda accepted my dog on a short notice and took very good care of him. Sent me photos and updates which was great. My dog gets very nervous when I'm away but he quickly got comfortable with her, she has excellent patience. 100% recommend.”

“After much trepidation and teeth gnashing, we decided we needed a vacation, and that meant leaving our dogs in the care of....someone. We wanted to try something different than a dog boarding/day care facility, so we looked at Rover. When we found Lynn, we immediately felt we had a strong contender for a successful boarding experience for our dogs, and for us. Lynn is incredibly responsive and has a great demeanor with both animals and humans. Our dogs loved their stay, though they were also quite happy to see their normal humans, and to get back home. We will not hesitate to let our dogs stay with Lynn in the future!”
“Tracy was amazing! Her love of dogs shows… through genuinely getting to know them at their level (based on their breed), through the meet and greet, and then going above and beyond through walks (sending pics of the routes/distance) and so many amazing pics/vids of Amelia’s adventures while with Tracy, that I was beginning to wonder if she would want to come home! Thanks Tracy!”
“Dalton & Kaitlin made our 110 lb dog, Koda, feel right at home. They were always keeping us updated on how he was doing and always asked if there were specific things we wanted to work on for training. Highly recommend.”
